Friday a lot of stuff got done, some small some big, but lest start at the begining.
Summit sent me my lines, so I went to Angel's shop to see Gary to help me put them together, while I was there, the lower bolt for the fender for the POS got fixed. But we stayed behind to have some fun with the AN lines. Of course its like 8PM and we don't have the right tape to wrap the stailess steel braided line (masking tape sux, don't even bother), the ACE Hardware is the only place that I know carries it, and its just closed. My last ditch effort - HomeDepot. Spent some time there, but noone knew what I was talking about, so I gave up.
Get back to the garage, and we were going to reuse the small piece of tape that was left on the ends to wrap the section that needed a cut. Luckly for us, it worked.
AN lines are a pain in the ass to put toghether without damaging anything, so note to self, get the vise Jaws that Summit sells, next time I am going to be doing this.
So after some creative engineering we got them together and they look GOOD!! Quick test later, and they are great.
So after that, we started talking about the 240sx and the whole SR20DET swap with Gary, but after few minutes we were on the way home to just do it. Screw all the talk, just get her done.
Frindly tip: If you are swapping a motor in, make sure your engine hoist is long enough to put the motor against the firewall, mine wasn't so we had to take off the bumper cover and the bumper. adding 30mins to install.
Than Lewe calls, and having nothing better to do either, decides to show up and give us a hand, and I am gratefull that he did, as I don't think we would have done it with just two of us, as fast as we did. It all worked out pretty good. We quickly figured out that; one guy operates the engine hoist, one guy watches for the engine mounts, and one guy is either jacking up/down the tranny or helping with the motor.
All in all, we got started around 11PM or so, by 2AM we were done. That included some time for the bumper disassembly as well as general BSing around. Not too bad.
So, at the end of the night, I got my fender fixed, AN lines done and the SR20DET is sitting in my engine bay, looking nice and pretty. Now all I have to do is run the wiring, connect the battery relocation kit, run the vac lines, heater hoses, radiator hoses (just ordered them on eBay - Silicone ones ;p), install the radiator, re-install the SMIC, and some stuff that I know I am forgetting.
P.S. Freindly tip 2. Take down the front sway bar, at least in my case, the Greddy oil pan was not clearing the sway bar, so I had to unbolt it from the chasis
Thats about it, I am very excited to have the motor in, as now its just a matter of knocking out all the little stuff thats on a pretty long list.
